- DESTINATION MANAGEMENT: A MAJOR PARAMETER IN TOURISM POLICY
The most important factors to observe are the competitiveness and sustainability of the destination (p. 145). Ritchie and Crouch (2003) indicate the areas that a tourism policy should broadly address to achieve overall destination management and ensure the long-term success of the destination.

Terms include the “accidental tourist” (being in the wrong place at the wrong time); tourism industry. The discussion of the literature on tourists and offenders shows a link between tourism and property-related offences.
Natural environment
This concept is in line with the principles of social and economic justice and exercises full respect for the environment and its cultures� It recognizes the central role of the local host community and its right to act as a key player in the development of a sustainable and responsible tourism. Responsible tourism promotes positive interaction between the tourism industry, local communities and travelers (Italian Association for Responsible Tourism (aitr.org, 2005)).

EXPERIENCES OF VISIBLE POLICING
On the one hand, the police must be trained on how to deal with crimes against tourists and on the other hand, crimes committed by tourists. Police services, infrastructure and judicial processes must be developed to deal with transient populations in line with policing in industrialized areas.
TOPPS: A MODEL OF POLICING TOURIST CRIME
The prevailing view was that "security added nothing to the bottom line." TOPP's philosophy reverses this assumption and sees security as an important post-9/11 marketing tool. The philosophy behind TOPPs must thus be aligned with the social, economic and ecological requirements of the respective tourist sites.

INFLUENCE OF PERCEIVED RISKS ON THE DESTINATION CHOICE
INTRODUCTION
The world has not forgotten the catastrophic events that unfolded in the United States on September 11, 2001, when many foreign tourists fell victim to the tragic terrorist attacks. It took more than 10 years for tourist arrivals in the United States to recover to the normal numbers before these attacks (TIA, 2003).
NEED FOR THE STUDY
Researching and studying these stressors can therefore be useful and beneficial to both travelers and marketers.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
DIMENSIONS OF PERCEIVED RISKS
Performance risk was also found to be more predictive of all the factors that influenced the overall perception of risk. The study found that brand loyalty and image are the two strongest mitigators of risk.
PERSONAL FACTORS OF TRAVELERS
The study mainly revolved around the American tourist's subjective assignment of the perceived risk of criminal victimization on the American side of the US-Mexico border. More recently, in 2003, Lepp and Gibson examined the interrelationship between risk perception and preference for familiarity or novelty associated with international travel.
PSYCHOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF TRAVELERS
A study by Lepp and Gibson (2003) also found that the health risk was perceived to be higher in organized mass tourism and independent mass tourism groups. In the study, the ITR scale showed three dimensions, namely the individual's need for familiarity and novelty when choosing to travel to international destinations, the so-called destination-oriented dimension; of the individual.
SIGNIFICANCE OF LANGUAGE
FAMILIARITY WITH THE DESTINATION
PRIOR EXPERIENCE AT THE DESTINATION
A general model was later developed on leisure travel destination awareness and choice by Woodside and Lysonski (1989), and the model described that destination awareness includes four categories of groups, namely the consideration group, the insert group, the unavailable and aware. and inappropriate group. In leisure travel, the influence of attitude on the destination choice process was also studied.
FACTORS INFLUENCING MOTIVATION
This result indicated that factors such as risk perception, prior experience, and personal characteristics may influence each stage of the decision-making process during travel. One of the main attributes that determined the difference when deciding whether to buy or
LIKELIHOOD OF TRAVEL
STYLE OF TRAVEL
The results obtained from the discriminant analysis showed that personal values strongly discriminated group travelers from independent travelers. On the other hand, the independent travelers were willing to take more risks in choosing holidays when the risk levels were considered to be really low or irrelevant (Hyde and Lawson, 2003).
RESEARCH GAP
FINDINGS FROM THE STUDY
Most of the tourists from South India look forward to an exciting experience during their vacation. Some tourists felt that safety concerns prevented them from taking risks while travelling.
SUGGESTIVE IMPLICATIONS
By mapping the risk perceptions, the majority of tourists took a neutral position that they may or may not focus on their comfort with the chosen holiday destination. The study found that as tourists' incomes increased, so did their need for more comfort with the vacation destination they chose.

COMMUNITY-BASED WASTE
MANAGEMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM IN BACKWATER REGIONS
INTRODUCTION
The inflow and outflow of national and international tourists creates positive and negative impacts on the nature of the backwater regions. Houseboat tourism, providing economic and socio-cultural benefits to local communities, is booming in the backwater regions of Kerala, India.
SUSTAINABILITY AND TOURISM
But on the other hand, people living in the region become victims of this ever-threatening problem of a poor waste management system. To maximize the positive impacts of tourism and minimize the negative elements in the backwater regions, it is gaining wider acceptance throughout the destination.
THE BACKWATERS OF KERALA, INDIA
- ALAPPUZHA
- KOTTAYAM
- ATTRACTIONS
- CHAMPAKULAM
- KAVALAM
- PATHIRAMANAL
- R-BLOCK
- NEDUMUDI
- PUNNAMADA
- KUMARAKOM
This destination is the venue for the world famous Nehru Trophy Boat Race which is held every year on the second Saturday in the month of August. Champakulam is very famous for the Moolam boat race, which is the oldest snake boat in Kerala district.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
The time-consuming centralized waste management approach is a crucial concern that needs to be reviewed in the upcoming decentralized waste management scenario. Due to the concern about the potential ecological impact caused, especially in the tourist destinations, both solid and liquid waste must be transported to the areas where scientific treatment or disposal will be possible.
COMMUNITY AND WASTE MANAGEMENT
ROLE OF COMMUNITY IN TOURISM DEVELOPMENT
Community-based waste management initiatives should prove their work when there is full support from the local authority and community-based organisations. By assessing community-based development at all stages, from start to finish, the result achieved so far shows the great potential for improving the sustainable environment through processes that are managed by communities.
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Here the local community has control over and is involved in its development, augmentation and management, with a large proportion of the benefits remaining within the community. Community-based waste management never addresses the environmental problems, but it has contributed to a greater extent to good health, good environment and improved hygienic standards of local communities.
ROLE OF COMMUNITY IN SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
Chaudhuri (2009) postulated that sustainable tourism is an essential criterion for the development of the destination. As a whole, society plays a vital role in the promotion of sustainable tourism, or in other words, community-based development provides a wide range of benefits to the tourism industry for the development of sustainable tourism.
ROLE OF GOVERNMENT IN THE PROMOTION OF SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
As stated by Gorica, Kripa and Zenelaj (2012), social impartiality gives local communities an equitable distribution of economic and social benefits from the tourism industry. The extent of government concessions for tourism is mainly related to the importance that a country places on the tourism sector compared to other sectors of the economy.
RESEARCH GAP
NEED FOR THE STUDY
Primary data was collected from the population and sample group under the study area. Data from the local community, tourists, government officials, hotels and resort officials were collected by means of schedule questionnaire.
RESULTS AND SUGGESTIVE IMPLICATIONS
The support of the local community is very necessary, and the community should stand up to reduce the waste problems in the backwater regions. The unplanned construction of tourist facilities, dumping of waste materials from houseboats and overcrowding of houseboats in the Vembanad Lake is becoming a threat to both the environment and the local community.
PROPOSITIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
CONCLUSION
Waste management tackles the problem that has negative consequences for tourism and solid waste management. Community-based solid waste management and water supply projects: problems and solutions compared with a literature review.
